The Switzerland-based, Hong Kong-born composer with a first degree in composition and electronic music from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA)<\/span> creates dramatic, visceral experiences that transform concert halls into theatres \u2013 and her inventiveness is getting noticed.<\/div>\n
